vacant figures

a cut-out poem

I’ve mentioned before that it was cut-out poetry that brought me to collage. Even though it no longer plays a predominant role in what I do, I still hold a deep fondness for it. I’m always thinking about ways to periodically reincorporate it into my work. This is another attempt to keep it alive in whatever it is that I do. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

Vacant figures sleeping along the past

The words that mean nothing still prayed and clasped

Silently the winter passed

And the spring was weeping

P.P.S. - Recently I had the tremendous opportunity to do some editorial design for issue no.8 of Plastikcomb magazine. It was literally a dream come true. Something I never thought I’d ever realistically get to do. It was an absolute pleasure. Special thanks to founder/editor Aaron Beebe (IG here) for giving me the chance. And thanks to photographer/designer Rick Granados (IG here), whose work I had the privilege of designing with.

Here’s a flip through of the spreads I put together:
